Good lord. What next? Breeding chinchillas for the underground unpasteurized chinchilla milk trade?
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Dammit, LB. You said you'd keep that quiet!

The feds would have found out eventually.

I used to love hearing Eddie Driscoll pronounce Skowhegan during Dialing for Dollars.
Any time is a good time for pie.

OMG, the Great Money Movie!  The highlight of being home, sick, from school. But I remember it being on earlier in the afternoon. I'd try to par-lay the whole week off if there was a good theme going.

Say, did Dick Stacey have a service station in Skowhegan?

For years, we used to get ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS out of Bangor.  Then, in the early 90's (as I recall), the local cable company (there was only 1), switched to Detroit, and we got Fox out of Rochester (of all places).  It really pissed me, and a lot of people, off.  I related to Bangor. People took bus trips to see Stacey's Country Jamboree live (on the wings of a snow, white, dove...).  I know caars and I know tiires.  There was a bond.  The corporate bastards wrecked it.

Now all of the 'Merican channels come out of Bahstin. Pffft.

Maine and the Maritime Provinces are very similar in many ways.

That I don't know. Apparently he did own a few service stations, but I think they were all in the Bangor area. Skowhegan is further south, about 20 minutes from where I grew up and lived for a good chunk of my life.
